@slimobeny: "Hello All,
I would like to use the SPLIT DHCP with 50/50 in the same subnet. What I
want to achieve is load balancing. If my 2 dhcp servers are always up, is
the first dhcp will go out of address if it responds always the first?
Thanks for your support"
    @dhshaw: "No.  The DHCP address the client is assigned will depend upon which DHCP 
server responds first - and that will depend entirely upon the performance 
of the servers, the network, the client, etc.  In theory, splitting the 
scope means that "approximately" half of the allocated addresses will come 
from one server and the remainder from the other.  However, there is nothing 
in the programming that dictates that.  It's not "load-balancing" in any 
real sense of the word any more than round-robin DNS is.  Having said that, 
it works just fine.  I ran a network with many tens of thousands of DHCP 
clients on split scopes and had no issues.
However, if you would like your DHCP services to always be available *and* 
rid yourself of the administrative pain of managing split scopes, try 
clustering instead.
